Business Majors

"How students reason and acquire knowledge is at least as important as the hard data they memorize. In my classes, the students and I work to cultivate in ourselves what the late writer David Foster Wallace calls the “Democratic Spirit,” which he defines as an attitude that “combines rigor and humility, i.e., passionate conviction plus sedulous respect for the conviction of others.” It seems likely that “Democratic Spirit” offers all of us the only way to effectively address the thorny problems of our own time as well as those of the future."

Students from any major can sign up to take SOC 490 (Global Service Learning), a course offered by Bethel's Sociology department that provides students with opportunities to learn and serve around the globe.This year's service project will take place in Cali, Colombia June 1-10, 2015 and will involve teaching English at Colegio Americano, a school affiliated with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
